Bhogali Bihu is a harvest festival celebrated in Assam that marks the end of harvesting season.

Also known as Magh Bihu or Maghar Domahi, this Assamese festival marks the end of harvesting season in the month of Maagha (January–February).

Rongali Bihu (or Bohag Bihu) celebrated in the month of April (in the Assamese month of Bohag).

Kongali Bihu (or Kati Bihu) celebrated in middle of October (in the Assamese month of Kati).
